If You’re a Prime Member, Amazon Is Including 2 Free AirTags for Prime Day

Apple is famously strict about discounts, and it rarely offers price drops even on the most affordable products. If you have to buy an AirTag, you’ll usually pay $29 each on Apple’s website. But this Prime Day, the prices are to be believed: a 4-pack of Apple AirTags for $67, which works out at about $16 an AirTag. To put it into perspective, four AirTags from Apple would run you $116 so this Prime Day discount is essentially… half price. The deal is only being offered to Prime members but if y

I’m fed up with ads on my Google TV, so I got rid of them with this third-party launcher

Joe Maring / Android Authority Ever since Android TV underwent its transformation to Google TV a few years ago, I have had mixed feelings about the subsequent redesign of the home screen interface. While I appreciate the more modern-looking interface on one hand, the number of sponsored content suggestions has steadily increased over the years to the point of frustration. Simply put, I find sponsored content unacceptable after paying a fair price for the underlying hardware. And unfortunately,

When Figma starts designing us

I first encountered Figma in 2013, when Dylan Field demoed an early prototype to me at O’Reilly’s Foo Camp. I remember the pen tool feeling surprisingly elegant, but I missed the bigger picture: the radical implications of a design tool that ran in the browser. A decade later, Figma is a core part of our creative process, and without it, we wouldn't have been able to build a fully remote design practice. That’s probably why Dylan is a near-billionaire and I’m not. However, over the course of th

Ingram Micro says ongoing outage caused by ransomware attack

Ingram Micro, a U.S. technology distributing giant and managed services provider, said on Monday a ransomware attack is the cause of an ongoing outage at the company. The hack began on Thursday, after which the company’s website and much of its network went down. Late on Saturday, the company said in a brief statement that it was working to restore systems so it can begin processing orders again. Ingram Micro on Monday alerted shareholders to the breach before markets opened in the United Stat

The latest threat from the rise of Chinese manufacturing

If in retrospect all that seems obvious, it’s only because the research by David Autor, an MIT labor economist, and his colleagues has become an accepted, albeit often distorted, political narrative these days: China destroyed all our manufacturing jobs! Though the nuances of the research are often ignored, the results help explain at least some of today's political unrest. It’s reflected in rising calls for US protectionism, President Trump’s broad tariffs on imported goods, and nostalgia for t

Galaxy S26 Ultra leak reveals camera and design upgrades, but not the ones you asked for

The Cat's Meat Man: Feeding Felines in Victorian London

Within minutes of the cat’s meat man embarking on his circuit, the barrow would be surrounded by felines, some of whom had perfectly good homes to go to and others who did not but still hoped that a sliver of flesh might fall their way. Although there were plenty of grim jokes circulating about how cat’s meat men supplied the toughest meat they could get away with, the fact was that many of these rough diamonds were known for their tender hearts. It was not unusual to spot a cat’s meat man slipp
